From the Detroit Free Press

ing able to get within twenty feet of the general
delivery window of the post office, owing to the
crowd of colored people, and when we got over
to Admission and found it still worse, he went out
doors and sat down on dry goods box and
spent an hour in reflection. By and by he

The waltz was 100 years old last Tuesday.
1t was born on a Vienna stage, and Vincen-
no Martini was its father Martini COM
posed at that time an opera which was pre-
feIred to the works of his rival, Mozart, and
it contained waltz, known then by the
name of "Deutschen The opera itself is
not very highly praised, but when, with a
few Introductory bars, it broke into the
swaying, rhythmic melody of the waltz, and
the actors began to glide around the stage
in unison with its time, the audience gave
way to the widest excitement. The next
day Vienna rang with praises of the waltz,
and it soon became the rage throughout
Europe. In America it was met by fierce
opposition, but its popularity has never
waned from that day to this. The crusades
that we're conductee against it in some
quarters acted rather as an impetus to the
introduction of the most graceful of all
round dances

A Remarkable Faction Fight.

The remarkable campaign in Louisiana
for the Democratic GuDernatorial nomina-
ton is presenting some bloody features 1t
would have been surprising had it closed
without the loss of a few lives. Within the
last few days several people in different
parishes have been shot to death in political
quarrels. As the feeling between the con-
tending factions grows more bitter each day
it is not improbable that there will be other
victims of the contest.
A majority of the parishes have held their
primary elections, and it is impossible to de-
termine whether Nichols or McEnery has
the majority of the delegates already
elected. Each claims it, and it viii not be
possible to discover which is mistaken until
the nominating convention meets
The fight for the New Orleans delegates
is a lively one The ward leaders are pretty
evenly divided between the two factions,
and extraordinary efforts are being made to
induce every Democrat to go to the polls.
There have been some extraordinary po-
litical campaigns in louisiana, but none
more so than the one now in progress.
There is not much probability that the fac
tions will ever be in complete harmony
again on State issues, because the line which
separates them is too clearly drawn. They
will continue the struggle for the
control of the State, and as
the white Republican element is so small
as to be hardly worth considering, it is not
improbable that they will finally divide the
negro vote between then. Whether one of
the factions will at some future date har-
monte with the Republicans in national
affairs is a question that has doubtless sug-
gested itself to a good many of the thinking
men of the State.

THE MANAGEMENT OF AFFAIRS.
At a meeting Saturday, In Baltimore, OF the
directors OF the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, Mr.. VIM. F. Burns WAS formally elected
president pro tenn, during the absence Of President
Garrett. The Baltimore Sun OF to-day says: ut Is
admitted that changes In the policy OF the COM
pany are being carried out, but that these do not
affect the personnel OF the management. One of
the directors said there was no truth In street
rumorS that President Garrett had negotiated
loan which he asked the board to approve or that
his retirement or that of any person In the service
Was up for discussion. The change Of policy
which has been referred to heretofore is largely

working force at the shops and in the road de-

as stated, the money appropriated for that work
this year was expended. 1t is pretty well under

against the management of the company, the d.
rectorS are beginning to take more active inter-
est in its affairs for themselves. 1t has for years
been a tradition that In the Baltimore and Ohio
